Exclusive Beachfront Cottage, Private, Ocean Views, AC, WiFi, Whale Watching!

On Maui's sunny south shore, is the romantic Honu’ea cottage, where quiet peaceful living is a way of life. Honu'ea (Hawksbill Turtle) is named after the endangered turtles that come and nest on the sandy shores in front of the property. Honu’ea is perfect for honeymooners or couples just wanting a unique tranquil getaway. The cottage is located on an acre of landscaped grounds with an unobstructed beachfront view of the Pacific Ocean. Just steps from the front door you can take long walks on miles of uncrowded sandy beach.

Honu’ea is a one bedroom, one bath Hawaiian style cottage. The cottage is located on the second story with its own private entrance. This cottage has a great open floor plan that allows for ocean views from almost every room. The master bedroom includes a king size bed, ample walk in closet for clothes and luggage, and a great view of the landscaped yard and ocean. The living space has an inviting sitting area with a relaxing sofa and chair and flat screen tv/dvd. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for all your cooking needs.

This one bedroom apartment is very comfortable and is well supplied with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. It is private, easy access to the entire island and shops/food a short drive and many within walking distance to either cook dinner or get take out and watch sunset from the balcony.

The cottage was exactly what we wanted. Privacy, beach front and quiet. Amber is very accommodating and it has the basics and then some. It is second story so the view is great so just meet the challenge of a few more steps. Enjoy the moment.

This was our second stay here. It is a great location to access shops, restaurants and the rest of the island. The VRBO has everything you need to enjoy the week. A quick walk through backyard and you are on a sandy beach, where turtles come to rest at night. We will stay here again when we are on Maui.

We loved our stay. The sunset from the porch thru the palm trees over the narrow beach were to die for. We could leave the slider open with just the screen and listen to the surf. Waking up to that is hard to beat. Two blocks away is an ordinary shopping district that has what you need. After driving thru other areas along that coast can’t imagine a more comfortable place for a couple to stay.

My husband, son (infant), and I absolutely loved staying at this cottage. The proximity to the beach and restaurants was perfect. The sunsets at night and sunrise beach walks was exactly what I needed for this vacation. We saw many green sea turtles. Amber was awesome to work with. I highly recommend this property!
